RACE TO GREATNESS
MY STORY
Being surrounded by racing enthusiasts all my life, it was only a matter of time before
I took to the tracks myself!
Whether it was spending hours watching my brother train or tuning in to Sunday F1 races with my dad, I knew early on that racing was my true calling. I started my journey at 8, and since then, I've been lucky to blaze my own trail in this sport. Representing India at the prestigious Le Mans race in France when I was just 9 was a moment I’ll never forget, and having the chance to compete in the Rotax World Championship in
Bahrain is something I’m incredibly proud of.
Nothing has ever stood in the way of giving my all to racing, and that’s a mindset I carry
with me every time I hit the track.
A natural athlete with talents across multiple sports, I made the choice to leave horse riding behind to fully dedicate myself to racing. Determined to succeed, I invested all my energy into honing my skills with the expert guidance of the coaches at BPC Racing—a team that has played a pivotal role in shaping the Indian racing scene. Through consistent effort and commitment, I’ve been able to sharpen my abilities and embody the belief that with perseverance and patience, anything is achievable.
As a supportive teammate, I always strive to uphold the values of true sportsmanship. I'm passionate about making motorsport racing more accessible, which is why I launched the “Speed Quest India” project. Through this initiative, my colleagues and I aim to train aspiring racers in the finer details of the sport, helping pave the way for more podium finishes for India. Ultimately, we hope to strengthen India’s presence on the international racing stage and inspire the next generation of racers.
MY INTERESTS
Welcome to my world! I’m Ishaan Madesh, a dedicated athlete and adventurer eager to embrace every challenge and opportunity. From the discipline of racing to my passion for exploring new ventures, I believe in giving my all to everything I do. This is a glimpse into my journey so far—a mix of the interests, experiences, and pursuits that inspire me. As I continue to chase my goals on and off the track, I’m excited to share my story and keep growing along the way.
Swimming: I’ve been a part of my school swim team for the past five years. Representing Canadian International School and India at FOBISIA in Thailand was a proud moment for me. Swimming has taught me discipline, resilience, and the joy of competing in a sport I love.
Horse Riding: I’ve always been an animal lover, and horses hold a special place in my heart. Introduced to them at a young age, horse riding quickly became my favorite weekend hobby. The bond between rider and horse is something I cherish deeply.
Skydiving: Skydiving was one of the most thrilling experiences of my life. As someone who loves adventure sports, I found it both exhilarating and surprisingly calming. I can’t wait to give it another shot!
Music: Music has always been a huge part of my life. I’ve been drumming for years and completed multiple grades with Trinity School. Recently, I’ve taken up the guitar and even taught myself some keyboard basics. I can easily lose hours immersed in playing and creating music.
Basketball: My love for basketball is well-known. I’m passionate about the game, playing for hours every day at school. I follow every NBA game and player and hope to make it to the school team soon. Basketball is my ultimate stress-buster and energy booster.
SOCIAL SERVICE
ANIMAL SHELTER
Visiting an animal shelter twice a month is one of the most fulfilling parts of my life. I spend time feeding and caring for the animals and help raise funds to support their needs. It feels great to contribute to such an important cause.
CLUB COMMUNITY SERVICE
Our local club’s tennis court lacked staff, so my friend and I stepped up. We alternately schedule ourselves to help with kids' lessons, ensuring the sessions run smoothly. Giving back to the community in this way has been incredibly rewarding.
COACHING & TRAINING
I love helping out at Team Peregrine Racing. Whether coaching kids or providing valuable inputs during training, I enjoy being
part of their journey. Driving alongside them and teaching overtaking manoeuvres has been a great way to share my passion
for motorsport.
